Random Number God

   [rec.games.roguelike.angband;  often  abbreviated  `RNG']  The malign
   force  which  lurks  behind  the random number generator in {Angband}
   (and  by extension elsewhere). A dark god that demands sacrifices and
   toys  with  its victims. "I just found a really great item; I suppose
   the RNG is about to punish me..." Apparently, Angband's random number
   generator  occasionally  gets  locked  in  a  repetition,  so you get
   something  with  a  3% chance happening 8 times in a row. Improbable,
   but far too common to be pure chance. Compare {Shub-Internet}.
